Abstract

This study examines the application of Martin Heidegger's hermeneutical framework as an alternative method for understanding prophetic hadith through contextual, historical and existential perspectives. Employing a qualitative philosophical approach through systematic library research, the study analyzes selected hadiths from Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and Musnad Ahmad using the concepts of Dasein, Being-in-the-world, and the hermeneutical circle. The findings demonstrate that Heideggerian hermeneutics situates hadith interpretation within the dynamic relationship between religious texts, the interpreter's existential horizon, and socio-historical context, thereby revealing dimensions of meaning that textual-formal approaches leave unaddressed. This research contributes to contemporary hadith studies by presenting a philosophical framework that bridges classical Islamic scholarly traditions and modern hermeneutical thought, offering Nusantara Islamic scholarship a methodologically grounded basis for developing contextual, moderate, and historically conscious interpretations of prophetic traditions. The implications extend to Islamic education and interdisciplinary inquiry, where hermeneutical analysis can strengthen engagement with contemporary religious and social challenges.

Abstract

This research focuses on increasing knowledge, skills, and community participation in the management of bodies in accordance with Islamic sharia through training and mentoring at the Taklim Council. The main objective of this study is to explore the effectiveness of community-based training in building individual competencies and strengthening social solidarity within the Muslim community. This study uses a qualitative method with a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which involves the active participation of community members at the Thariqul Falah Taklim Council, Toboleu Village, Ternate City. The data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and focused group discussions, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis technique consisting of three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn/verification. The results of the study showed that the training succeeded in improving the participants' theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and confidence in caring for the body, as well as strengthening the sense of collective responsibility and community solidarity. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of a participatory approach and flexibility in the implementation of community-based training to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of future religious education programs.

Abstract

Background. The advent of the digital age has drastically transformed the way knowledge is accessed, interpreted, and disseminated. In this context, classical philosophical inquiries into knowledge, truth, and interpretation are being revisited, with new questions emerging about their relevance and application in the age of digital information. Purpose. This research seeks to explore the intersection of classical philosophy and the digital era, examining how timeless philosophical concepts can be adapted to address the challenges and complexities introduced by digital technologies. The main objective of this study is to investigate how classical philosophical perspectives on knowledge, truth, and interpretation can provide valuable insights into understanding the dynamics of the digital age. The study aims to bridge the gap between classical philosophical theories and contemporary digital challenges, exploring how traditional concepts can inform current debates about information, misinformation, and digital ethics. Method. This research employs a qualitative, comparative analysis of classical philosophical texts, including works by Plato, Aristotle, and Kant, in relation to contemporary digital phenomena. A thematic analysis is used to explore the application of these classical ideas to current digital issues, such as the spread of fake news, the ethics of AI, and the role of social media in shaping public opinion. Results. The study finds that classical philosophies on knowledge and truth remain relevant in understanding the digital age, offering frameworks for critically evaluating information and guiding ethical digital practices. Conclusion. The research concludes that revisiting classical philosophy in the digital age provides important insights into managing the challenges of knowledge and truth in a rapidly evolving information landscape.

Abstract

The historical narrative of Western intellectual development often obscures the profound contributions of Islamic philosophy, frequently reducing the Islamic Golden Age to a mere preservation period for Hellenistic thought. This research aims to re-evaluate the specific mechanisms and depth of Islamic influence on the Western intellectual tradition, specifically during the Scholastic revolution. A qualitative historical-philosophical design was employed, utilizing hermeneutic analysis and diachronic mapping of primary Arabic texts and their subsequent Latin translations. Findings reveal that Muslim polymaths like Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd were not passive conduits but original innovators who provided the metaphysical and logical scaffolding for Western Scholasticism. The study identifies a systematic “transcultural synthesis” where Islamic rationalism fundamentally restructured European epistemology, particularly regarding the distinction between essence and existence and the development of empirical methodologies. This research concludes that the Western philosophical canon is a hybrid construct deeply rooted in Islamic intellectual labor, necessitating a decolonized approach to the history of ideas. Recognizing this shared heritage challenges Eurocentric biases and promotes a more inclusive understanding of global human progress.
